Thanks!

I think it has to do with the design of the table structure in this
driver. Each "struct panel_init_cmd" was 24-bytes big. That means that
to represent one 1-byte sequence we needed 24 bytes + 1 bytes cmd + 1
byte seq = 26 bytes. Lots of overhead for 2 bytes of content. The old
table stuff could certainly have been made _a lot_ less overhead, but
since it wasn't then it also wasn't hard to be better than it with it
via the new style.
FWIW, it also wouldn't be terribly hard to save a tiny bit more space
with the new style if we wanted. It gets a little ugly, but it doesn't
affect callers of the macro. Specifically, if you assume people aren't
going to pass more than 256-byte sequences, you could stuff the length
in the data:
#define mipi_dsi_dcs_write_seq_multi(ctx, cmd, seq...) \
- do { \
- static const u8 d[] = { cmd, seq }; \
- mipi_dsi_dcs_write_buffer_multi(ctx, d, ARRAY_SIZE(d)); \
+ do { \
+ static const u8 d[] = { \
+ (sizeof((u8[]){seq})/sizeof(u8)) + 1, cmd, seq }; \
+ mipi_dsi_dcs_write_buffer_multi(ctx, d); \
} while (0)
...and then snag the length out of the first byte of the data in
mipi_dsi_dcs_write_buffer_multi(). If you do this, you actually get
another 10% space savings on this driver. :-P
